Subject:Re: [beagleboard] TI Announcement of the AM5728 and EVM

I do like my Novena open hardware laptop with iMX6 :)

I presume DSPs and microcontrollers on die are a selling point for Sitara 
AM57xx.  I'm curious if anyone knows if there are other suppliers that offer 
ARM Cortex A series processor with microcontroller core(s) on die?

Thanks
Drew

AM5728 for $75 @1k??? Ridiculously high price. I think imx6q is a better deal

Also. . .

IVA support only for IPU2 is kind of a bummer . . .But I'm wondering if the GPU 
could be used for GPGPU processing since it seems to sit on the L3 interconnect 
as well.


I was under the impression, and quite incorrectly that each IPU mentioned in 
the TRM was a single processor. When in fact each IPU is a subsystem with 2 M4 
cores, not singles. Which is good news after all.

And dahm, this newer processor sure is getting complex. Seeing mention in the 
TRM to read other documents in relation to the various different cores. Like 
you eluded to above Robert. heh. Read the C6000 TRM, M4 TRM, plus what else ? 
On top of the 7483 pages already in the AM572x TRM . . .heh lots of reading to 
do . . .

Robert,

I'm curious, have you played at all with remoteproc / RPMsg at all ? Seems very 
interesting, but also complex in setup. Also, not so sure if anything other 
than TI-RTOS is supported on the various beagle products. But was more 
interested in something else, perhaps even bare metal.
